"Tree" and "Coronado Motel"

Tree

Here comes
a little tree
all decked out
for spring
and traveling
south along the
median

What kind
of tree is that?
What kind of treewas that?
It’s gone
disappeared
into the distance

Coronado Motel

Coronado Motel
is a ghost motel
It's where Sandy stayed
when she came for a visit

It's been torn down
for some years now
but they left the sign
Coronado Motel
to remind us
what was here
back then

He has three college degrees, because he had a hard time deciding what he wanted to do. He ended up as a professional librarian and retired from that work in 2010. Along the way he got poems and stories and articles published in several "little" magazines. He lives in El Paso, Texas.
